Analysts assess the potential impact of Trump's surprise 50% steel tariffs
-- U.S. President Donald Trump unexpectedly announced on Friday that steel and aluminum tariffs will double to 50%. The move, set to come into effect on June 4, was unveiled during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. It was later confirmed on TruthSocial and comes amid broader debates around U.S. industrial policy and foreign investment. Analysts are now evaluating the implications of this surprise decision, with most agreeing that the immediate domestic effects may be less severe than the broader geopolitical risks. JPMorgan's Tatsuya Maruyama said the direct impact on major Japanese steelmakers such as Nippon Steel Corp (TYO:5401), JFE Holdings, Inc. (TYO:5411), and Kobe Steel, Ltd. (TYO:5406) is expected to be limited, given that 'the U.S. accounts for about 4% of Japan's steel exports.' Maruyama pointed out in a Monday note that Nippon Steel and JFE export only about 1% of their total shipments to the U.S., while Kobe Steel exports about 3%. Still, he warned that 'rising global protectionism' is a growing concern, noting that a wave of anti-dumping measures and safeguards in regions like South Korea, the EU, and India could further strain global trade dynamics. 'If such countermeasures gain momentum, Japanese steel products may also be targeted and the export environment may worsen,' Maruyama continued. Meanwhile, analysts at BMO Capital Markets believe the sudden tariff hike could jolt domestic markets. 'The doubling of import tariffs, if maintained, is likely to create a panic in the market and trigger a restocking cycle that in our view has the potential to push prices >$1,000/st in the near-term,' the analysts said. However, they believe the spike would be temporary given macro uncertainty and seasonal demand trends. The broker upgraded Nucor (NYSE:NUE) to Outperform but downgraded Algoma Central (TSX:ALC), which it called 'a relative tariff loser.' The aluminum market may be more exposed, according to BMO. The U.S. covers only about 20% of its own aluminum consumption domestically, making it more vulnerable to supply disruptions. 'If tariffs do double, this is expected to put material upside pressure on the Midwest premium (MWP),' BMO wrote, estimating it could reach '$0.75/lb-plus' in theory, although higher aluminum cost will likely weigh on demand and thus offset some upside pressure. That said, the brokerage sees Century Aluminum (NASDAQ:CENX) as well positioned to benefit from a rise in the Midwest premium, while Alcoa (NYSE:AA) could see a negative impact of $1–2 per share, or 4–7%, due to its reliance on Canadian production. Still, BMO expects Alcoa may redirect some of its Canadian output to the EU market.

Fast-food chain Chick ‘n' Sours closes stores in UK
Fast-food chain Chick 'n' Sours has officially ceased operations at its Haggerston and Seven Dials restaurants in London, UK, after ten years, according to a report by BirminghamLive. Its offerings will remain available for delivery through Deliveroo, and the Chick 'n' Sours food truck can be present at special events. The Korean fried chicken shop was launched in 2015. Chick 'n' Sours co-founder David Wolanski expressed the challenges faced by the restaurant in an Instagram post, stating that "we hung on for as long as we could.' Chick 'n' Sours began when its founders Wolanski and Carl Clarke met at the Latitude Festival. The business expanded to run four locations. Wolanski continued: 'The casual dining restaurant model is broken, but that's for another post. It's been an incredible journey from when Carl and I came up with the idea of opening the best chicken shop in the world ten years ago on the back of my scooter. "We scraped together what limited funds we had to open Haggerston and go on this wild roller coaster of a trip. 'There are so many awesome independent restaurants out there doing great things but finding it tough out there also.' The chain's menu includes crispy chicken, sour and sweet cocktails and the Hot Chicken Bun, its signature dish, which contains home-made pickle, chicken thigh, slaw and a mild spicy sauce.
